Anybody else going to this. I'm going to rack up some miles on the 73 before I make a long trip like this, I will be most likely taking my faithful 72 super.


It would be cool to have someone to cruise with. I just have to go see those vw's tear up that drag strip!!!

when is it?

June 1st. I'll be there racing my 52 in the bracket class.

Nice I'm hoping to be there too. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be running up there in my 73

If any of the DLK members would like to go to a Houston event, it would be cool to see a bunch of you guys show up at this event. http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/s ... p?t=459100

I'm taking my Super on Saturday out there. I'll prob get a hotel, anybody want to sleep on the floor for free let me know I've got space for one person+light luggage.

Gonna be at werk Sunday! I would go otherwise!

All of those hotrod VW's in the DLK and you guys are not going to this? I'm debating on camping or hotel.

Prob going to check my valves tomorrow to be safe. I'm paranoid about them, every 2K some fresh oil too.
